Synopsis
The only life they’ve known is war. The only loyalty they have is to each
other.
They are "The Expendables": leader and mastermind Barney Ross (Stallone),
former SAS blade expert Lee Christmas (Statham), hand-to-hand combat specialist
Yin Yang (Li), long barrel weapons specialist Hale Caesar (Crews), demolitions
expert Toll Road (Couture), and precision sniper Gunner Jensen (Lundgren). Living
life in the fringes of the law, these hardened mercenaries take on what appears
to be a routine assignment: a covert, CIA-funded operation to infiltrate the
South American country of Vilena and overthrow its ruthless dictator General
Garza (David Zayas). But when their job is revealed to be a suicide mission,
the men are faced with a deadly choice, one that might redeem their souls…or
destroy their brotherhood forever.
Director, co-writer and star Sylvester Stallone brings together a powerhouse
cast of action superstars – never before seen together in one film –
in Lionsgate’s hard-hitting action thriller, "The Expendables".
The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren,
Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, David Zayas with Terry Crews and
Mickey Rourke. "The Expendables" was directed by Sylvester Stallone
from a story by David Callaham and screenplay by David Callaham and Sylvester
Stallone, and is produced by Avi Lerner, John Thompson and Kevin King Templeton.
Lionsgate and Millennium Films present a Nu Image production.
